We visited to enjoy a cooling fruit juice. I chose pineapple juice, which was exceptionally good. Our guide and my wife preferred an avocado shake, which was also good. The restaurant is on the creeks edge and provides good viewing of the boats going by. The toilets are in the western style and very clean. A strange aspect in the restaurant is suspended plastic bags full of water. These are claimed to frighten flies away! The drinks were 2000 kyat each, but we were charged only 4000. Apparently guides are not charged.

We were in Indein to amire the old stupas and pagodas there (incredible sight!!) and we stopped at the Golden Kite for lunch for what was supposed to be an Italian al fresco interlude. The string was very nice, open air restaurant by the river-canal, sand even the menu was mostly Italian.Well, we started with a bruschetta, not bad, crispy bread, and the fresh local tomatoes.Then the pasta: tagliatelle with red sauce which were cold and overcooked, a disaster.I understand the cook has a wife or Italian girlfriend, but that is not enough to make him an Italian chef. It just does't do it. The strips of pizza that came along in the pasta plate, was average at best. The highlight of the lunch was the dessert: crepes with chocolate Nutella. It saved my lunch and I had a double serving.This place has potential but they have to learn how to cook pasta especially.
